Part of the old installation is likely to still be on your phone. You can't just remove an SD card and think an app is uninstalled.

Welcome to Android Central! Which phone? Did you already try going to Settings>Apps, selecting Facebook Messenger, and tapping Uninstall? Then go to the Play Store and reinstall it there.
